More thoughts on the fallout from the C's not landing Giannis:
- This did NOT come down to Hugo
- Giving up JB + 3-4 picks would've been insane
- Jaylen Brown, if on the market, has tremendous value
- JB might want out, but are there better options for him?
- The C's have LOTS of ways to improve
- It's June 23rd
- Trust Brad Stevens
Xavier Becerra and Jasmine Crockett are perfect examples of the democratic establishment that keeps shoving brown and black politicians at you that work for corporate interests and not the working class and any criticism of them labels you as radical or racist. Itâs tiring.
Keir Starmer choked up with tears in his resignation speech - he didn't shed any for the 73,000 Palestinians ethnically cleansed by Israel in Gaza while providing diplomatic cover and material support for their killers
"Vote Blue No Matter Who" until it's James Talarico, Zohran Mamdani, Cori Bush, Graham Platner, Janeese Lewis George, or Abdul El-Sayed...
And what exactly do these candidates all have in common?
They don't take AIPAC money.
My own views:
1) I support @grahamformaine because I am genuinely excited and inspired by the core idea behind his policy platform, & his movement-building style of campaign.
2) Those things are not reducible to âprogressive positions,â because you can very much run a moderate campaign of this style, with a strong anti-war, populist character. And people besides Platner should do so.
3) I wish he didnât get a bad tattoo in Croatia, or have his relationship or Reddit posting history. Those things are a bummer, and while I know a lot of regular guys with similar stuff who would nevertheless make better US Senators than most of the people in office, Iâm not going to pretend like itâs somehow helpful for his campaign. This would be a Safe D flip in a different timeline. So letâs get to work.
4) We live in a world where an exclusive club of political elites and a biased media smugly see individual personal failings as disqualifying, but the tremendous harm and suffering Susan Collinsâ votes have caused to millions of people as somehow acceptable. I would walk a thousand miles over broken glass to vote for Graham Platner to replace Susan Collins.

Trying to imagine the coverage if Obama had spent $60 million to host a pay-per-view NBA event at the White House where LeBron called Melania a hooker.
She alleges that he was never abusive to her, never violated her consent, that she never even experienced him being unfaithfulâbut heard thirdhand from friends about his engagement disintegrating, and that sheânot heâidentified the tattoo and said âno worries lolâ that he had it.
President Obama used the Situation Room to kill Osama Bin Laden.
Donald Trump used the Situation Room to figure out how to control the coverup of the Epstein files because heâs a pedophile.
There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a childâs nipples while raping her.
Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss them.
I mean, how the fuck isnât this the biggest scandal in the world right now?
Platner: Susan Collins has gotten 21 times wealthier just in the last 15 years. Has anybody else gotten 21 times wealthier since Susan Collins was elected to office? Does Maine have 21 times the schools and hospitals? No, we have less. Susan Collins is getting rich while we're getting screwed.
90% of all the Platner stories come from two specific people who hate his guts and they wonât stop getting bigger and bigger platforms to endorse republicans
This is about you hijacking our politics to send our taxpayer money to a foreign government to conduct genocide and apartheid while the children in our own country go without basic healthcare and good schools.
THATâS what this is about.
If Israel was created in Alaska, no Palestinians or Arabs would've objected!
The issue is NOT Jewish statehood, the issue is building a state on top of OUR land, stealing OUR homes, properties, assets, farms, culture, & olive trees then caging us in concentration camps!
